"As I've said before, I sometimes struggle to raise Tripp. However, he does NOT use slurs. On the most recent episode of Life's a Tripp, the Huffington Post is reporting that my son said the word 'f—-t. This is not true. Let me be clear. I'm not proud of what he did say. Sadly, he used a different 'f word.'"

Life's a Tripp showrunner Matt Lutz backs up the Palin child's story, claiming Tripp said "f**k" and not "f****t."

We are relieved to hear that … but not really.

As we said before, there's NO WAY a 3-year-old could understand the implications behind either f-words. However, hearing a child say a hateful word (like the one we thought he said) in such a casual way is just a tad more terrifying.

Hate can be instilled at a young age. We are VERY happy to hear that is not happening to Tripp.

But he got his mommy some attention. Maybe now a handful more people will tune into her sad little show, so I'm sure mommy has no regrets. I guess exploiting her child for money is way better than getting an education or getting a real job.

perez, maybe when you raise a child you can have an opinion in the matter….no parent is on their 100% best behaviour at all times because it is a frustrating and incredibly hard job and sometimes shit just slips out…..when my daughter was 2 i was bending over and when i stood up i banged my head really hard on the corner of my desk and not caring about anything but the severe pain i felt i grabbed my head and said "ow fuck"….for the rest of the day she walked around grabbing her head and going "ow funk"….had she been able to say her words right at the time, i would have been "fuck"….and yes, it was humorous and i laughed….and at the same time started teaching her to refrain from saying bad words….so until you raise a child, please stfu

Even when you are man enough to say you were wrong your apology is a backhand… i have to say in recent years your blod has been more positive and not as mean but only when it is about people you agree with politically.. evenyone doesnt have the same views as you… if you want people to be accepting of you maybe you should start being accepting of them first..

So since its wasn't the other F****t you originally thought it was and made a big deal out of this is so much worse? Funny how when Modern Family did an episode about their kid dropping the f bomb you thought it was just funny and people shouldn't make such a big deal about it. Maybe because her parents were gay it was more acceptable? It would be nice if for was you were actually consistant in the things you preach and say!

Well well… it's ok when YOU say it Perez but not when anyone else does huh? Yeah, I didn't forget about that. You are a hypocrite calling people f*gs when you were pissed off. And you got your ass kicked for it too. But a 3 year old says something and just because you don't like his mom it's the end of the world. LOL you really make me laugh at how transparently HYPOCRITICAL you are.
The kid shouldn't be saying ANYTHING like that but trust me my kids have went to school and cussed because they heard my husband in his shop cussing. Don't think for one minute that when I went to school and asked my son where he had head that word (I think he said shit) he totally called out my husband and told the teacher, me and the principle he heard it from Dad . It was REALLY hard not to laugh at my husbands face because he looked like he was the one that got caught by the teacher. They both got in trouble by me. But it does happen. They repeat everything from the things they hear on tv to a conversation you may be having on the phone. You just got to teach them that sometimes adults use words they shouldn't be using….. RIGHT PEREZ?

I'm British and most of us don't know of Bristol Palin. BUT I DON'T understand why the gay community are offended by the word "f_ _ _ _t" Now I understand the homophobes of the world use such words in a derogatory mannor towards the LGBT community but it just annoys me. Gay used to mean Happy - you now claim it as an insult, f____ts in the UK can be a food, kind of like meatballs and now you claim this as an insult. Can't wait until we're at the point where every word is an insult to you. Maybe just grow a back bone and stop being offended by petty words that dont even mean what you think they mean. As for Bristol, I am genuinely worried about how that kid will turn out. Kids pick up words from their mother. Stop being such a potty mouth and show him how to grow up into a well mannered, well educated young man.

Re: WAHHHHHHHH! –
If you put your shit on TV you invite EVERYONE'S comments about your parenting. She sold her privacy for money. How is that for her son? I don't need a child to know their person life doesn't need to be on tv for their parents profit. Maybe spend more time with your kids and less on reality tv and perez.

Makes me laugh, she goes on about how bad being gay is, but she is the one of the most vile, hate filled immature creatures in the public eye. Such a bad, immature attitude and she should be ashamed of herself. I pray to god that her son somehow learns tolerance and manners.

Who really cares? Stop glorifying this incredible failure! I know many girls, her age, who are focused on their education and securing a future for themselves, such as a good job, MARRYING a decent man, also with a good job, all BEFORE having a child. Imagine that!

I watched the episode & thought he said f***, which was also bleeped out with only four stars. I'm not sure why Perez and other bloggers felt the need to freak out and say that Bristol is now a terrible person because of this. Like no one here has ever let the f-bomb slip while driving with their kids in the car. Her only parenting flaw is that she struggles, as many young single moms do, to discipline her child. Hopefully in the future she will be able to handle a similar situation with more maturity.

re: commonsense….well first of all, i never said it was a good idea for her to put her child on tv….in fact i am completely against it….perez is not calling her out on putting her kid on tv, he is bitching about her being a bad mom cause her kid said the F word…..do you have children??? if you don't then you can stfu as well….if you do, i can assure you that they will drop the f bomb at some point or other…whether you say it in front of them or it comes from somewhere else…..tv, music, movies, video games……and for your information, i have never seen her show, nor do i even know what channel is on because i spend plenty of time with my kids, so kindly shut your mouth about something you have no clue about!…..or take your own advice and get the hell off perezhilton.com

and if perez gave a shit about kids he'd stop promoting toddlers and tiaras…..and if he gave a shit about violence he'd stop promoting bad girls….if perez gave a shit about anything other than himself he'd shut this website down……and dont get me started on all the comments people always make to other posters about getting off the computer and getting a life……all while they themselves are sitting on the computer on the same site…..

Perez, you should be issuing an apology to Bristol instead of continuing your snarky attitude. You and others slandered an innocent 3-and-a-half-year-old. All because you have homophobia on the brain. And, of course, the Palin's are always your favorite target. It's not unusual for a child Tripp's age to use a swear word. Kids are always trying to push the boundaries. Bristol has already said that she is not proud of her son using this word. So stop the snark.
